Summary

Riley Jenson’s world has twirled out of order, when she wakes up disoriented and with no memory of the past month.

When Riley returns home, she finds herself drawn into a evil plot where the enemy keeps seeking her and attempting to kill her. But she joins forces with her brother, Misha and a man she never thought she would see again….the ever mysterious Quinn. Riley is in over her head, but the plows on knowing she has to get to the bottom of the plots but there will be some unforeseen consequences.

Plot and Story Line

In Kissing Sin we get a continuation of Riley Jenson, and seeing how the world is changing for her. Gone is the nice quiet life she once enjoyed. Now she is embroiled in evil plots and trying to discover who is behind the “curtain” as it were. This book was pretty hot, probably not as much as the first one…but dang some HOT and SPICY scenes if there ever were. We get some new characters and some old ones. We get some delicious moments with Misha…and even though I was unsure about his agenda….he really shocked me in the end. We are brought some surprises some good and some bad. This story really spent through some vivid emotions here, and I fell in love more with Riley.

Now we have some great interactions with Quinn…good ole sexy Quinn. Now we see how much has changed with Quinn. In the first books, he was resistant to pursuing anything serious with Riley because she was a wolf and he had recently been betrayed by one he had fallen in love with. And quite frankly he is old world and very traditional. Despite his reservations about Riley have sex with various men at different times very consistently…he is willing to go after her and try to have some sort of romantic relationship even though its killing him seeing her with other men. I understood both sides of it. I see why Riley is hesitant to be with just Quinn because they literally would hardly see each other much, and she has no idea if they really have anything with substance and she loves sex and isn’t ashamed of it.

Which meant I got left with Quinn yet again. Given the time he was taking to make his decision, I wasn’t exactly happy about that. I mean, putting me with him was like flashing chocolate my way then telling me I couldn’t have it. It was just plain mean.

So this part of the story was really heart wrenching at times because boy these two…need to sit down seriously and talk openly and honestly.

And yay for more of Riley’s brother and his partner…these two are so great and even though we don’t get much of them in the story, they are always a delight to see. Rhoan is gay and I really liked seeing him back his sister up and his unique points of character that enhance the development of the story line. There is quite a few scenes of suspense and mystery that I found intriguing and the ending really has me sad and excited to see what is to come in the next book.

The Cover

I love the blue theme to this cover….with the sensuality and the supernatural elements displayed.

Overall View

Kissing Sin is a remarkable story that is heart wrenching and stimulating….it takes us on the road of thrilling adventure, intrigue and suspense. Keep your seat belts on…because this one was a wild ride!!
